Looking at shots like that,I can't believe those levels are textured correctly.When I saw the video,I assumed usual MS hype but looking at shots I really believe that it must be unfinshed graphics.Maybe they are trying to temper the hype and comparisons to PS3 graphics.Release some poor video and then improve it for final product and fans are happy and people knocking have less to say.I hope so anyway,or the next Xbox will need to come sooner.Alan Wake looks very good but that PS3 just keeps ...
The positive thing for me is,with all the games Sony have around at the moment and E3 to come in July,they are announcing games in March.They must have plenty of games to show at E3.They've not really announced anything for 2nd half of the year and just 1st party have 17 devs.Add 2nd party and that is some huge resources.Now they have got used to PS3,I would expect a steady stream of games from now on.
I've never liked Halo much.Had a bit of fun in multiplayer split screen but don't like the art design at all.This one looked quite different to the others in early video and actually showed some graphics I thought were impressive.Turns out it was more crap.Looks very much like previous ones,probably still a tiny amount of players(and yes it does make a difference)and jetpacks?Really.It's like Tribes and Warhawk never happened in the eyes of sole of you.By the way,don't get too excited,it ruin...
I don't think that 39 million to 33 million with only US/UK 360 dominated is switched places.Last gen was 110 million to 25 million.The PS3 is also closing the gap and has already over taken it's rival in Japan/EU.A lot of this stuff is media perception and not accurate analysis of the real situation.
I wonder how much of this is actually either the changes in the game industry or just his old age(I'm 35).There are not the RPGs there used to be,he likes old RPGs so he doesn't like the change.Thinks feel more exciting when you are young.I read more about games than ever,largely due to internet but I feel less excitement than I did at 15-20.
The annoying thing for me is that I own all 3 systems,and for me PS3 is easily the best.I've owned 360 and PS3 since launch and PS3 owners are so ...
Why does everything have to be PS3 vs 360?It's important to everyone that this game sells.If this is a success it means that risks will be allowed by publishers,if it fails then we a left with less choice of game type.Publishers will see that and become even more risk adverse.Heavy Rain selling might mean 360 owners get a game that may never get made without Heavy Rains success.MS are not the best at taking risks but this could be proof that there is a market for cinematic or story based adve...
That was not an article.That was an advert.They even listed a bundle and pricing.
Problem with that is only games not using the full hardware will be able to use it.Most graphics intensive games will not have 15-33% of CPU power free to run Natal.I think it will sell but end up like many Wiis and Eyetoys,a novelty that gets boring fast.Probably same for Gem but that does have more obvious game uses.I think Natal will sell more thanks to MS cash/celebs/press bull but it will disappoint more than Gem(which Sony will undersell/push and not advertise enough).
Xmas 2007.Halo 3 does not work properly and many Live users cannot access online functions.This continues for my friend on PGR for 2 weeks!He couldn't play on Live at all for 2 weeks!MS gave some crappy XBLA games away as compensation.2 weeks!
On 360
That's not true.Arc can track accurately in 3D,it has eyetoy abilities on top of the wand,voice recognition can be done,it has 1:1 and you can use 2 wands together.
Mario Galaxy is a 7/10.It's ok but it has problems.Bland graphics,horrible art(always has been,designed to work in a few pixels),horrible camera and all the fuss made"The bee suit,oh it's so original and imaginative"No,it's slow and boring.
I've played most of it because my 5 year old loves Mario(and it's too tricky for him).For me it's good but Rachet is better.More Varied,better graphics,better writing,better charcters and better controls.The whole Galaxy reviews thing is a ...
Still waiting to hear a good idea for Natal yet.The other thing you won't be doing is using Natal in any meaningful way in AAA titles.The dev team would have to give up between 10 and 33% of their processing budget just to throw some crap grenade throwing gimmick in.No wonder Bungie won't/can't use it in Halo.
It looks very good but not Uncharted 2 good.Seriously,they are trailers designed to make the game look good and clearly those interior textures and animation are not UC2 standard.I would say the lighting is good but looks a bit Unreal engine ie a torch shined on surfaces and not as subtle as some UC2.Killzone.The other thing about this and Reach for that matter,is that 360 games do not seem to do long draw without a mist or fuzziness.Even 360 Cryengine had that issue when compared to PS3 stuf...
It's called knowledge and understanding the difference between good tech and art design.Alan Wake looks great but the Killzone,UC2,GT5and GOW3 do more technically.People calling Killzone a corridor shooter are ignorant,and no Gears is not the same.
Both systems look good this year but like last year the PS3 will be king of the tech and 360 will probably still move more software units,but by decreasing amounts throughout the year.
I'll get games for both systems this year(only L4D...
For 5 minutes.Then once you've shown everyone you know it will be back to a remote.Gimmick.
Actually splash the water was done as an original Eyetoy demo I played at classic game expo(Game on??not sure of name)in London over 7 years ago before it was even released.Around the same time as tracking witches and fire in your hand.
Got to say that MS will probably win this.Just like the consoles the media seem to flock to MS and hype for them.Later consumers realise the press are often half wits and go and buy the better product.With PS3 sony just about got it together in time,they better not let MS get a march on them this time.
I don't see how any intelligent human can think the Natal camera will be better as a game controller.I find it very strange how all the press seem to have forgotten Eyetoy ever happened. ...
The problem is not the PS3 low reviews but that they are usually around the metacritic on 360/Wii games and sometimes higher.Certainly not 2 points lower so often.There scores stand out on PS3 and often stand together.
MS must love reading forums.I wish I was as easily pleased.
